House and his team face a disciplinary hearing with Dr. Cofield ( Jeffrey Wright ) after a chemistry teacher ( David Anders ) is admitted to the hospital with paralysis. But things turn bad when in a fit of psychosis and violence, the patient stabs Chase, ultimately forcing the team into a race against time as they battle to keep Chase alive in the ER. As the patient is going to be transferred, House realizes his syndrome and informs his wife. As he is on the hearing with Dr. Cofield, he is prepared to send House to prison again, but the wife of the patient arrives and thanks him for his correct treatment. Dr. Cofield sets him free, but House berates him for his cowardice as it was obvious that he would have been arrested, so he let him loose to avoid media attention. Final diagnosis: Tumor lysis syndrome and steroid-induced psychosis
